IWC DUS 2026
25 March 2007 is the date that Susan and I met for the first time. This anniversary coincided with the closing of one of our favourite London restaurants, Club Gascon. The restaurant is actually closing on Saturday 28 March but it will be busy and there is a March against the Far Right that day.
The first time we came to Club Gascon was about 2010 weeks ago went because my friend, Ben, had won a meal and couldn’t go so we went instead. Since then we have been about 10 times. It’s a shame that you won’t be able to go.
Instead of getting the tube today I chose:
This was just a pure celebration of great music.
You could see this as everyone in the crowd was happy and dancing along. The range of ages in the crowd was huge, I was really not expecting this. It just goes to show how universal these two albums really are.
At the end of the gig, George brought all of his family and friends onto the stage and shouted out to everyone who had ever been apart of his life.
If you have never come across Nightmares on Wax, then you should really check out these two albums:
Susan & I travelled to Belgium to see David Byrne's Who is the Sky? tour. The venue was new to us it was the Forest National in Brussels. It was similar to Wembley Arena, in London, but about a third of the size. We had great seats central and near the sound desk.
The staging was superb and the set was fantastic, I'm not going to say more than this because I know people who are going to see this tour at a later date and don't want to spoil anything.
If you like David Byrne or Talking Heads then I recommend that you do everything to go see this tour, it was truly Once in a Lifetime.
Today I finished listening to The Rose Field by Philip Pullman read by Michael Sheen. This was the third book in The Book of Dust series.
I absolutely loved this is was so emotional and the narration was so moving at times I cried and other times I laughed out loud.
At the end of the audio book there was an interview with Philip Pullman and Michael Sheen, in that interview they discussed the ideas and themes of the book and commented upon how the current global politics were reflected in the story.
Towards the end Philip Pullman said:
Those who don’t understand or enjoy stories and art are the ones we have to look out for.
I truly recommend The Book of Dust trilogy and I really didn't want it to end.
